It's not a mistake. It is a learning process. If you knew how to do it, and did it incorrectly, that would be a mistake. But during learning, there are no mistakes. You just move forward and hit it again until you figure out what works best

[@adamkoindustries88]

Exactly what I came to say. You have to respect a person willing to show when it doesn’t work out.

[@litholi9103]

I appreciate your effort. These tires are never easy in a home garage. You showed great determination that was ultimately met with success. Forget the jokers on here that offer negative comments and probably can't trim their own toe nails yet alone inflate a late tubeless tire. You learn by trying, failing and trying again until you succeed. Keep the videos coming.

[@Petrolfox669]

Not for nothing, I've been fighting with the front tire on my motorcycle for a week now and honestly just seeing a real life reminder that tires are a bitch sometimes made me feel a lot better. Thanks buddy.

[@bobbylabony4398]

How did you end up getting it on? I'm having the same problem

[@donm7645]

A truly honest to life video. I laughed so much. But I love it. Clapped at the end when you finally got it to work. Used to mount tires for a living as a teen. Good job

Truly a great video. Watching you fuck that up over and over was way more entertaining - and vastly more realistic - than some generic how to video! I thoroughly enjoyed this.

[@JPK92]

Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@breeze787]

Hey thanks for putting this up. What was really important about your video was that you also showed the many attempts that it took you to do this. And you also demonstrated all the other options you exercised and your thought process for getting this done as you met this challenge head on. The value for us is that you showed that it would also take a little bit of ingenuity, patience, practice & will to succeed. Way to go man, 2 thumbs up! Hey also I liked your editing when you showed all of your attempts. It was hilarious at first but when you succeeded it was like DAMN he did it! Which just made watching this vid all the more satisfying. You rock man!

[@OrthoCarpenterGuy]

saw another video recommending keeping the blaster about 2 inches away from the rim when opening the valve, and going for a 30-45 degree angle. nice work man

[@mevastronomy]

nuff respect... this guy posted the attempts and not just the finale.

[@DKWTyler]

Thanks for sharing your mistakes and technic. The first time I did a bead with a blaster it sealed right away. My ultimate confidence made me think I can do this as a side gig. So far so good.

[@JM-nh8yp]

Glad you showed the whole process. Did you learn anything about how to get it on the first try? Honest question. I've never used one.

[@jerodjohnson3329]

Works better with tire standing up. Soap both beads, bounce the tire and wheel and with the valve stem down, blast the top. Where did you get the psi for different tires? I have always filled them with tool hose pressure (95psi) and use a cage for split rims.

[@AdriaanVerburg]

That was a tough one. I change quite a few trailer tires. 275/70R22.5. They seat really well usually without the bead seater. If they don’t it only takes one blast.

[@sportster88]

I was trying to mount a new Chinese 225/75-15 trailer tire with the sidewalls collapsed together from being stacked on top of each other. I couldn't get the beads to seat until I watched this video. I had to flip it upside down and put it on a 5 gallon bucket, then I put the air chuck on it and blasted it from the back with a Cheetah tank. It beaded right up.

[@olenaerhardt7725]

Thank you for the informative film. I'm going to use a portable Bead Seater (XK USA, 8 L), can you compare w/the one you used. And also when you spray a lot of water on the tire which is not sealed, that water can go inside of the tire.Can it cause a problem? It was interesting to know that you used 2 straps (I was planning to use 1). So finally it worked when you used that blower without the black hose, which was simultaneously inflating the tire, is that correct?

[@ciprianoortiz4676]

@@jasontbo6663 so you're saying that you used a bead seater on tyres with tpms and it didn't break the Sensor? tpms in trucks is just tougher than in passenger cars?

[@6512651]

Thanks for the video. Are you sure that you are using the correct tire size for that wheel rim? The rim looks too wide for that tire.

[@jonathangreen998]

This is basically what im fighting as well. Are you mounting them on a 10" or 12" wide? I have also tried the starting fluid trick, but to no avail. Any ideas?

[@xxtwobitxx]

Thanks for sharing man, and keeping the failed attempts in, it helps to know it may take a few good trys

[@crunchymouse9585]

hook up air, spray inner rim with starting fluid, throw match. mild explosion expands air rapidly and sets bead. throw sand or water on tire if u have a small flame on outside of tire from any overspray. obviously inside goes out immediately when starved of air. fill to proper psi. works well on large tires. scary first couple times u do it but u can get good at it. I have seen truckers do this without removing tire. As always, never try this at home.

[@chiraldude]

What if he had used bead sealer goo instead? It seems like the soap added too much lubrication so that the bead just pulled away instead of staying put. Another thing I think is a factor is temperature. From the fall leaves on the ground and long sleeve shirt it must have been lower than 50 deg. If the tire could have been warmed up to 70-80 degrees would it have been less stiff and not pulled away from the rim so quick? Not really convinced this tool is any better than using the starting fluid/fire method!

[@alanbrandywine8356]

I used 4 8"2+2 stretched tire in sun few hours .mount on rim . set tire on 3 milkcreats tap rim down with rubber hammer let soap dry . carefully flip wheel over on your 3 crests gravity lowers rim to rubber. Worked for me.

[@GrahmHorner]

Dude thank you, my nephew and I been fighting with one of these at the garage so we looked it up and for first how many attempts looked just like us fighting with this semi tire. Lol thank you and God Bless! ❤✝️

[@JPK92]

Glad I could help!!

[@readmore3634]

Is it ok to have all that soapy water inside the tire? Could be a quart or 2 in there....or maybe you drained it between takes....

[@mattisafool]

That seemed like hard work!! I thought normally the tyres seat pretty much first attempt like that

[@JPK92]

+Matt Kerr Once you get the hang of it, it seats first try. Since this video I've it figured out and can get most first shot. Gotta learn some how!

[@drylakesranch9880]

@@JPK92 so show us what works now that you figured it out

[@glosol22]

Oh the memories. I tried to mount these EXACT Hummer H1 tires on 12" wide aluminum 16.5 wheels. These tires need a narrow wheel, then they mount real nicely. My experience was a total fail mounting the 5 tires I had, so I took it to Les Schwab. It took 2 of those kicker tanks and 3 tire guys to mount each tire, but they got it done. So what happens when you lose air pressure, or air down for sand? Yep. they fall right off the bead. And with the sidewalls as stiff as they are, no amount of starting fluid sprayed into the tire will seat that bead on the trail. Great tire, just use a narrow wheel!

[@ndabrickswitunk2985]

Respect for showing how long it took

[@lewisdeanclark4091]

Good effort mate shown grest tenacity i like it 👌

[@billthompson5644]

Can I offer you a good suggestion spray the tire on the inside with WD-40 and it will blow right back on the rim. I do it at Sam's Club and they get really pissed

[@Mr.Studer]

Only thing you had to do is hook air up instantly (or before like you did later) to the tire to have it seated. Too big of a tire and not enough blasted air to keep it seated for long. Good job

[@Fallen_blackrose]

I was questioning myself when I wasn’t able to seat tires on a M35A3 (deuce and a half). It took maybe 2hours to get them on with 2 bead seaters, i think it needs a 10gal tank instead of a 5s

[@birdoffire9]

My first thought was, that blows. But then you keep at it, and boom shakalaka. Good work.

[@Travelerspence]

They use that tool to mount the tire on my utv and it took like 10 to 20 attempt to get the tires seated

Thanks for posting this! I thought I won last night, the bead on my ATV tire looked fully seated and the tire held air. I looked at it the next morning, and the tire was completely deflated and off the bead again. WTF. I'm going to try again today. Have you ever used a bead sealer product? Think it's worth the money?

[@jeremybreeden4228]

This thing would make one hell of a potato 🥔 launcher 😂🤣 Btw good work on getting that tire to finally set on the rim. I've been there buddy and it can get frustrating.

[@jbr3rd]

So you have air flowing in from the valve stem simultaneously while you use the bead blaster? Do you have the valve core removed or is it in the valve stem.

[@dannyxz6260]

Core removed always

[@AdrianHernandez-pz1fy]

Those straps help a lot when the tire has been stacked for a while 👌🏽

[@penguinistas]

So what magic incantation did you speak over it to get it to seal?

[@kimokahikolekalihi]

Had a good chuckle at all the attempts. You got it done though.

[@AhmadHamzabalad]

Lol i would've edited out the outtakes but you did bro. Good work

[@DieselJunkie12v]

Nicely done! 16.5s are just a pain. With the tapered bead on wheels. No flat or raised lip to catch and hold tire.

[@FirstNameLastName-hy2iz]

I noticed that tire looks like the HMMWV tire which goes on 16.5 rim. Is that a 16.5 rim?

[@matts_.4494]

Do you think of that maybe the 5 gallon bead seater is undersized for the kind of tire you were working with? I know they make these bead seaters in larger sizes, 7.5 gallons and 10 gallons.

[@JPK92]

It was complete user error as I have never used one before. I can do it in one shot now!

[@matts_.4494]

+Jpk92 Well wish me luck. I just bought a 5 gallon seater and in the next day or two I'm going to try to seat a 10 ply trailer tire on a rim that is a couple inches wider than the tire in its present condition. It is the stiffest tire I have worked in quite a while.. Thanks for putting up your video.

[@michaelbittinger6853]

5 gallon is sufficient for most semi tires.

[@junior79ma]

What I do is that the two airs collide so it's easier. I've inflated 8-inch tires on 10-inch wheels doing it that way. just an opinion good video

[@Gnarlys_Garage]

[@allmycarsisbroke]

Bro, just carry a can of starter fluid or some other flammable aerosol. I was able to use that method on my very first try, no trouble. And that was an old, junky tire still on a scrap vehicle resting on the ground.

[@FreemindCollective]

First video I even seen on KZbin with mistakes added! Great cuase this is how it will look when I go to do it.

[@vart7767]

starting fluid works great

[@ther1rida]

Great video!!! How does the 37x12.50x16.5 military tire ride? I just bought a set and had to go through taking out the run-flat Donuts out of all of them, what a pain in the butt.

[@JPK92]

They're loud and ride rough, but they get the job done.

[@ther1rida]

Best $100 for a new wheel and tire combo out there. You are definitely right they are loud as hell and do seem to ride a little rough but they last such a long time.

[@jwlandscape]

What was the width of the wheel? I've got some 12 wide and two bead seaters with an air line attached didn't do it lol. I've got the MTR military tires.

[@tahanneloc10]

What was the pressure entering the tire through the valve stem? Higher pressure there might have helped

[@JPK92]

I do not remember what it was as this was awhile back. It was complete user error as I have never used one before. I can do it in one shot now!

[@mlee6050]

Why I been thinking like the tubeless bike pump as can shoot upto about 160psi through valve, seen others mount other ways

Tbh first time seeing this tool, I always hire someone to do my tires, have a licensed mechanic doing mine today and he is having a hard time beading the tire, he is doing this at home for extra income, he messaged me and said he is going to ask to borrow someone’s tire beader so I had to KZbin it to see what it was lol.

Don't use soapy water it creates rust around the rim use oil or penetrating fluid makes it slippery .

[@JorgeJasso-x9w]

TG you survived 😂😂😂❤

[@bombardier3qtrlbpsi]

1:28 where you have the spout of the bead sealer too far away from the tire bead. it should of bin tight against the tire bead you would of had better results! you lost too much air flow the other way.

[@Outdoorpizzaoven]

I don't think it needed the straps. Just a higher psi. That's just from what I saw.

[@harleyrider883]

Thanks for showing a "real life" video on this front!

[@pathograce]

What PSI were you running on the air compressor?

[@Joe_1971]

I would like to see the bead seater filled to 125psi and releasing said pressure into a bucket of soapy water. :)

[@alant8553]

I saw a professional tire installer change a truck tire... literally in ONE minute. I was like what the heck was that tank of air? His tire was vertical (obviously) and I wonder if that would worked better if you had the tire in the vertical position. So the Bead can’t fall down... ??? Just thinking. Thanks for the video

[@anthonynelson2635]

[@marsogreen2411]

I know it's an old video, but....The way to make this go easier is: 1) Use grease, not soap 2) Use more pressure (120 psi) 3) Use more volume (bigger tank)
